Give frozen homemade cookie dough instead of overloading with already made goodies...that way they can enjoy whenever. Attach a greeting card with baking instructions. I've done this, but used repurposed butter tubs instead. They have a better seal so they can be frozen and used later. Make sure you put Press-n-Seal Saran wrap over the top before securing the lid, keeps the moisture out.

DIY: cupcake in a jar Going to the other side of the spectrum, from a vegetable garden to loaded with all things bad for you, but tastes so good cupcakes. You won't think I am such a genius anymore once I tell you how these are done. It really is easy and makes for such a visually appealing way to dress up cupcakes, not that cupcakes need to be dressed up as the name itself is cute and enticing! I pretty much use Paula Deen's recipe, but with a few of my own tiny tweeks to the ingredients (see*) and then I pretty much follow the directions in Paula Deen's recipe to make the batter and frosting, though I change it up a bit (time in the oven) when it comes to baking it. Ingredients: - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 1/2 cups sugar - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp salt - *2 1/4 tsp cocoa powder - *1 1/2 cup canola oil - 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature - 2 large eggs, room temperature - 2 tbsp red food coloring - 1 tsp white distilled vinegar - *2 tsp vanilla extract for the cream cheese frosting: - 1 pound cream cheese, softened - 2 sticks butter, softened - *2 tsps vanilla extract - 4 cups sifted powdered sugar 1. Batter is ready to be put in cupcake pan. baking cupcakes 2. I spray the pan with pam and then fill each hole up 2/3 with the batter. Note: I do not use liners, but you could if you want, just pull them off before putting them in the jar. cupcake pan 3. Usually they are done after about 17 minutes in my oven at temperature of 350℉, and I take them out and put them on a wire rack to cool completely. cool down 4. Once they are cool, I slice them in half. You will have a stack of tops and a stack of bottoms. sliced in half 5. Place 1 bottom in each jar. bottom of the cupcake 6. Put a layer of the frosting. frost the middle 7. Take the top of the cupcake and place on top of the layer of frosting. the top 8. Flatten (gently smash) the top part of the cupcake inside the jar. You want to get the top sort of flat. flatten the top 9. Beautifully frost the top of the cupcake. pipe on the topred velvet in a jar 10. Cover with lids and package however you like! It will be heartbreaking to eat, as it is so pretty, but it is so yummy! red velvet in a jarred velvet in a jar Easy, right? See, I told you I am not a genius. I did also want to give a crack at actually baking it in a jar (crossing my fingers that I wouldn't shatter or explode in the oven) and it came out pretty good too. I followed these instructions, but the lid I boiled shrank, so I just ran it in piping hot water right before I put in on the jar. Also, I didn't listen to the "ping" because knowing my ears I wouldn't even hear it (I have small ears, so I have bad hearing! At least that is why I think I can't hear well.) I let the whole jar cool completely, which was 2.5 hours. After it cooled, I opened the jar up, I scooped out a hole in the middle and then filled it with frosting. I finished it off by frosting the top too! Then, I sealed it again and packaged it to my liking. Something I would change next time I bake it in a jar, is to only fill it up a quarter of the way because it came up higher than I wanted it too. cupcake in a jar Just as cute and delicious as the other way of making it! Here is a little supplies list with a link to where I bought my goodies for packaging: - 8 oz glass jars with gold lid - wooden spoons - round stickers (I did have to cut them down a bit to make it fit the top) - bakers twine - pastry bag and decorative tips enjoy Now, go and enjoy as I am sure most of you will be itching to bake or make something (anything) in a jar! It is really darn cute that you have to give it a try! Don't forget to listen to this song as you bake! Happy baking!!!

Everyone loved them and I will be making them again... maybe with fun-fetti! March 25, 2010 2:37 PM reilly said... 8 I don't think you need to bother with the boiling, because you are pretty much just using the jars as a short-term container that won't keep the cupcake and frosting edible for any longer than normal, maybe a few days, and if you WERE baking in the jar, trying to 'can' the cupcake, multiple studies have been done about how un-safe it is.

Basically, an excuse for adults to act like kids...tug-o-war, pinata, ring toss, and a water balloon toss. Perfect picnic dessert! I definitely eyed some of our friends taking 2nds and 3rds. Heads up, you need 2 bottles of red food coloring for the recipe...one will turn them a dingy pink...still delicious. Also, I added some fresh cut strawberries on top!

However, I'm going to divide the cake batter into two different bowls. I'll add red food coloring to one. And blue food coloring to the other. Then I'll layer red cupcake, white frosting, blue cupcake top, frosting. Red, white and blue! Another option is a parfait with yogurt. But this cupcake idea is so cute!
